Mike Manderlin Is Doomed to Freeze

Sleet, snow, wind chill that could kill a bird. No matter. Mike Manderlin only braves the outdoors in short-sleeve shirts to maximize his watch visibility. 

Mike Manderlin Looking to Name His Alter Ego

As Mike Manderlin cobbles his most pungent blog posts and short stories into an autobiographical novel (working title Professor Muscle), he searches for a name that will capture his persona. The name? Jeff McMahon. When will the novel be written? When his two-year-old twins enter the first grade perhaps? By then he should have enough material. Keep cobbling together, brother. 

Probably a Good Idea to Not Do Dumbbell Upright Rows

 

 

Yesterday, 51-year-old exercise guru Mike Manderlin finished off his home combat conditioning workout with some high-rep dumbbell upright rows and while lowering the 20-pound dumbbells he sandwiched his sensitive area converting the workout into a painful self-emasculation. 

It's doubtful he'll be performing that one again. Just too much downside and not enough upside. 

He's reportedly doing fine this morning if not a bit chagrined.
